Chapter 21

Felicia proceeded to walk down the sidewalk that following afternoon as she headed to a local grocery store to buy food since they were starting to get low on a few things. But while she walked the maid could not help but wonder out loud to herself, "Hmm, I wonder if Kamui will be willing to help around the house again. I mean he might have been the one who was doing most of work... But it was still nice to have someone around who helped me out when I messed up so many times rather than scold me about it."

While she did this though the young woman failed to notice the mentioned wolf beastman as he turned a corner and stopped walking when he saw her heading his way. This went unnoticed by the lavender haired servant as she soon found herself bumping into his large and firm pectorals. Upon doing this a look of embarrassment spread across her face as she took a step back and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry for bumping into you like that. I wasn't watching where I was going." After she had taken a few steps back though she saw Horkeu Kamui standing in front her. Upon seeing him though caused an apologetic look to cross her face as she added, "Oh hello, Kamui. But I feel I need to apologize one more time for running into you like that..."

"It's alright. And honestly I was going to go see you anyway." The wolf beastman reassured her, as he gave her a soft smile. Upon doing this though she saw him look away from her a little when he continued, "The reason being that I wanted to give you something..."

This comment caught the maid's attention along with the fact that both of the anthro wolf's arms were behind his back. And while she wondered what he had gotten her she asked, "Really? And what exactly would that be?"

Felicia thought she saw a light blush spread across the black and gray furred wolf's face before he looked back at her and revealed three large bouquets of roses of three different colors one being red, one pink, and finally one yellow that were being held in both of his arms. Seeing this caused Felicia's eyes to widen in surprise. And as he proceeded to hand them to her he admitted, "I wanted to get you some flowers as a sign of friendship. However, when I went to go get them I wasn't sure what color you would like the best. So instead of just getting you one bouquet I decided to get you three."

Felicia felt herself become flustered while she remarked, "Wow, these are beautiful. Thank you so much, Kamui. But I won't lie, doesn't this seem like a bit much for just a simple gift from one friend to another?"

The young woman saw a hurt expression cross the anthro wolf's face causing her to lose her blush when he questioned, "Oh, do you dislike the roses? Should I have picked a different type of flower for the bouquet?"

"What? No, no the flowers are lovely." The maid reassured the beastman. A light blush returned to her features while she added, "But you see doing something like this is...is something one person does for another when they're in a relationship together."

"Oh, I understand." Kamui let out, before he walked up to the maid.

Her light blue eyes looked into his golden ones before she saw him sharply turn his head to look at something. Seeing him do this caused her to do the same, and upon doing this the maid saw a Vallite Paladin heading right towards them. "Oh no, not Vallite soldiers again. We better get out of-" Felicia started to say, before the anthro wolf grabbed her into his arms causing her to stop talking.

Once he did this though the lavender haired servant lost a hold of all three bouquets of flowers. Her light blue eyes widen when she saw one of the bouquet of roses get trampled on by the Vallite Paladin's horse. And just as quickly as that happened the other two were burned to ashes by a Vallite Strategist when it used a Fire spell. Felicia's attention was quickly brought away from the destroyed flowers when she heard Kamui let out a gasp of dismay. This prompted her to look up at him and see that his eyes were widen and his mouth a gap.

This did not last long though as he let go of her and quickly turned around to face the two mounted soldiers making his cape flow behind him. And within seconds a look of pure anger and rage formed on the canine's face before a strong snowstorm appeared out of nowhere. She then heard the wolf's voice as he shouted, "How dare you destroy my gifts for my friend in such a way! You will pay for doing such a thing!"

"Oh dear, he seems to be pretty mad. I don't think those Vallite soldiers will last long against him in his current mood." Felicia thought to herself, before she saw the anthro wolf look over his shoulder back at her.

When he did this the young woman saw a gentle look in his eyes as he told her, "Please allow me to take care of this, Felicia."

The maid nodded her head in understanding before she saw the black and gray furred wolf move with amazing speed up to the Paladin and hit him a powerful kick. She saw him quickly dodge the attempted strike with the lance before he delivered a second kick finishing off the mounted unit. She then saw the mounted magic user try and attack the beastman only to miss as well. That enemy was also quickly defeated with two kicks. The maid held her breath for a moment before she saw the wolf let out a sigh which not only calmed him down, but also got rid of the snowstorm as well.

She then saw him walk up to her with a sadden expression as he said, "There. Now we don't have to worry about these ambitions wrecking any more havoc then what they have already done. But I am sorry your gifts got ruined, Felicia."

"That's okay, Kamui. Besides it was my own fault for not having a better grip on them." Felicia admitted with an apologetic look on her face.

The two just stared in silence for a few minutes before the golden eyed beastman suggested, "No, it is not your fault. ...Besides I can always get you more flowers. Would...you like to come with me?"

"Sure, why not. And then after that we can go to the grocery store to get some food for the house." The maid replied while the two began to walk down the sidewalk again hand in hand.
